Meet You at the Blossom (2024) s01e01 Episode Script

1
[Meet You at the Blossom]
The late Emperor Jiayun was foolish,
indulging excessively in drinking and carnal pleasures,
and showed no interest in governing the country,
leading to chaos
and suffering among the people.
[Taiji Palace]
The officials decided to elect a new emperor to ascend the throne.
Crown Prince Zongzheng Yunlian
was at his peak
and made great achievements.
He's the man everyone wants.
However, Jiayun's second son, Zongzheng Yuzhan,
was ambitious
and wanted to seize the throne.
After the Crown Prince ascended the throne,
he stripped Yuzhan of his title,
relegated him to the ranks of the common people,
and exiled him to a barren land.
After the new emperor ascended the throne,
he overhauled the world in a bold and decisive manner.
He resisted foreign aggression, pacified the interior of the country in the past ten years,
and led the Zongzheng dynasty
out of the century-old turbulent times.
Good.
Cloth Tigers.
Come and have a look.
Cloth Tigers.
Buy a cloth tiger for a fun time.
Look at this.
Look at the painting.
That's amazing.
He got something.
I can't do it.
Not only can I not, but you also can't.
Young Master.
It's flying!
Be careful.
This is so fun.
Young Master, look.
Fly it higher.
Young Master!
It's in the sky!
It's in the sky!
Young Master, you need to reel in the string.
Pull it tight,
Young Master.
Young Master, look!
So high!
That's amazing, Young Master!
It's flying so high!
It's really high, Young Master.
[Ten Years Later]
Second Uncle,
didn't the Jin family ask you to write
the family history about how the Gold Sect
became the richest sect in Jiangnan?
Why are you praising them throughout?
Scholar Sun.
Scholar Sun!
Young Master Jin.
You're here.
The book has been revised as you requested.
Please have a look.
Look.
It says
that on the day you were born,
the purple aura covered the eastern sky.
Since then, our country
has entered a new era,
and people live in peace and prosperity.
The physiognomist said
that you were
an auspicious sign born into the world,
so the Jin family's fortunes changed for the better.
Master Jin
has risen to a high position,
and your Jin's Private Bank
has been making a lot of money.
You're also very talented.
Scholar Sun, you truly have profound knowledge.
Just with some notes from me,
you can write such an amazing work.
Thank you for your compliments.
It's not that I have to talk myself up.
You know I've come this time
to propose marriage to Miss Liu.
But before that,
girls from all over the country
have some misunderstandings about me,
which leads to my previous engagements
going nowhere.
Now I have you to clarify something for me.
Then Miss Liu
can set aside her prejudice against me
and marry me.
Yes. Yes.
However,
you need to put more effort
into your choice of words.
Can you choose some words that I know?
[Jinqi Mountain]
Young Chief,
the Chief wants to see you.
Zongzheng Yunlian has his eye on us.
I think my fourth brother has been well-prepared for a long time.
You must be careful
this time.
After this,
whatever you want,
I will agree.
Hya!
Hya!
Whoa!
[Jin]
Young Master,
why do we have to leave in the middle of the night?
It's so late at night.
What if we meet some ghosts?
Shut up!
You jinx!
Young Master,
if we don't leave,
if we don't leave, they will be so angry
that they might hire a hitman to kill us.
Only you get a brain!
I don't understand.
I'm the young master of the world's best sect.
I'm handsome
with good characters.
Why doesn't any girl like me?
Young Master,
you really can't blame them this time.
No one would tell the matchmaker
that he would take all three girls.
But those three girls
all look beautiful.
They always smiled at me when they saw me.
Obviously, they all have feelings for me.
It's hard for me to make a choice too.
It's hard for me too.
You'd better think about how you'll explain this
to the Master when we get back.
How many times have you been rejected?
I don't believe
that I can't find a wife!
I must marry the most beautiful girl
in the world.
I'll bring all the treasures in the world
in front of her.
I'll put her on a pedestal
and make those ignorant girls burn!
I
What's wrong?
Did you really run into some ghosts?
Someone is fighting.
Looks like someone's seeking revenge.
Young Master.
Fairy.
It's a fairy coming down to earth.
Go save her!
Go save your Young Madam!
What Young Madam?
That fairy.
Is there a girl prettier than her in the world?
God really has been good to me
and sent such a beautiful girl to me.
Hurry.
I will only marry her.
Please calm down, Young Master.
As the novels say,
a girl like her who appears
in the middle of the night and in the woods
can't be up to any good.
They are here
just to trap kind-hearted young men like you.
Besides,
Master instructed Jinbao and me again and again
to protect you well.
If something happened to you,
how could we come back and tell Master?
You're full of crap!
I'll save her myself if you don't!
My dear, don't be afraid!
I'm coming to save you!
Watch out, Young Master!
Young Master, you sit back first.
Let's go.
She bled so much!
Zhao
Zhaocai! Jinbao!
Get a doctor!
Hya!
Hya.
Hya.
Hya.
Young Master,
take a rest.
You make me dizzy.
I'm worried.
The doctor has been in there for so long.
Will my wife be alright?
She didn't even know your name,
and we don't know her background.
Don't
call her "your wife."
So what? I like to call her my wife.
Stop saying her background is unknown.
I said I would only marry her.
Show some respect for your future Young Madam.
She must have left home to visit her relatives
and met some bad guys who coveted her beauty.
Weitang
Where am I?
The Jin’s Residence,
Weitang Town.
How far is it from Huaizhou?
A gentleman like me
It's about a day and a night's journey
by carriage.
She will be very touched.
As I said,
I'd only marry the most beautiful woman in the world.
Who's the man outside?
And so I met her.
People
from the Gold Sect.
Gold Sect?
I'll offer her my heart
and all the treasures in the world
to serve her.
I believe
that as long as I'm sincere with her,
we can fall in love with each other.
Then she
will only marry me.
Then we can
Doctor, how is my wife?
Your wife?
Good.
She is good.
She'll be fine after a few days of rest.
I'll take my leave.
Doctor!
Am I really so mighty that I scare him?
Miss,
are you alright?
Don't be afraid, miss.
My name is Jin Xiaobao.
I'm the young master of the Gold Sect in Jiangnan.
I wonder
if you have heard of me?
Young Master?
Don't worry about that.
Although
I don't come from an ordinary family,
I'm very humble and courteous.
Otherwise,
I wouldn't have risked my life
to save you from danger,
right?
By the way,
may I
know your name?
Zheng Huai'en.
What a beautiful name!
Why were you alone in the wilderness last night
and ran into that bunch of murderers?
Did you run into trouble?
You can just tell me, miss.
Our family has some influence in the martial arts world.
I'm willing to
help you
and resolve your problem.
Thank you for saving me, Young Master Jin.
What happened last night was just an accident.
I went here to visit my relatives this time.
Don't worry about me, Young Master Jin.
I knew it.
It's just
that I have something important to do in Huaizhou.
I wonder where you're going, Young Master Jin?
If we are on different paths,
we can only say goodbye here.
Are you going to Huaizhou too?
What a coincidence.
Me too.
Well,
we're on the same route.
Then, thank you, Young Master Jin.
Let's
set off now.
There is no need to rush.
You haven't recovered yet.
Why don't you rest here for a few days
before we go,
right?
Besides, the scenery here is beautiful.
Why don't we take some time
to enjoy the scenery and savor some tea before we leave?
I have something important to do.
I can't delay.
If Young Master Jin doesn't agree
Thank you for your kindness.
I bid you farewell.
Young Master Jin.
I didn't refuse.
I agree. I agree.
Let's go now.
Zhaocai, Jinbao!
Get the horses ready, and let's set off!
Okay.
Okay.
Hya.
Miss Zheng,
don't get me wrong.
I was beating mosquitoes for you.
You have no idea
how many mosquitoes there are in this forest.
Just now,
a large mosquito was staring at you the whole time.
Don't worry.
You can sleep at ease with me here.
Miss Zheng.
You
Miss Zheng!
You two scared the hell out of me.
Young Master.
Master and Madam asked you to go home.
It's time to go home.
Then, you go
get two strong martial artists
to protect Young Madam
in case her enemies come after her again.
Young Master,
didn't you say
that those bad guys
were lechers?
I'm the young master.
Are you going to defy me?
That's right.
By the way,
don't tell my father about this.
Yes.
[Jin's Mansion]
Dad, Mom,
I'm back!
Xiaobao.
You bastard.
So you still know the way back?
How can I forget how to come home?
Did you miss me, Mom?
It's good that you're back.
This time,
I brought you and Xiaoyu a lot of beautiful silk.
I'll ask them to make you some beautiful clothes.
Okay.
Xiaobao.
Xiaobao!
Xiaoyu!
You gained weight again.
-Be careful. Don’t drop her.
-I didn't.
I won't.
My brother won't drop me.
Here, Xiaobao.
Let me ask you.
You came to visit Miss Liu this time.
Do you like her?
Me and Miss Liu
are not a good match.
What do you mean?
The Liu family is a century-old lineage,
and Miss Liu is talented and beautiful.
Your father and I worked so hard
that Master Liu agreed to let you visit her daughter.
Well
Dear,
leave it to me.
Xiaobao,
come with me.
Okay, Dad.
Xiaobao.
All right.
Xiaoyu and I go check if dinner is ready.
Dad.
Dad.
Why are you still coughing?
Have you received the medicine
I asked someone to bring back?
Yes.
What?
I heard that you failed to propose to Miss Liu this time,
but on the halfway home, you brought back a beauty,
and you claimed that you would marry no one but her.
Dad.
You
You fell victim to lust.
A woman will be the death of you one day.
Sooner or later, you will suffer because of a woman.
Dad.
This time is different.
I really love her.
You really love her?
The girls in our courtyard
and the girls in Yicui House
are tired of hearing
what you said,
Dad,
this girl is really different.
She is elegant.
She doesn't care,
no matter how many treasures I give her.
Xiaobao,
let me tell you.
There are only two kinds of people in this world who don't like your money.
One is people who want more money from you,
while the other is those who want all of your money.
This kind of person, who doesn't want any money from you,
is the most dangerous.
I heard from Zhaocai
that she appeared in the woods in the middle of the night
and was chased by her enemies.
You have to find out who she is,
understand?
That stupid Zhaocai.
What?
You're right.
I was going to ask Zhang Chun to investigate her carefully.
In this world,
there is no background that Zhang Chun cannot uncover.
Dad, don't worry.
If I don't thoroughly investigate her background,
I won't send the betrothal gifts to her family so easily.
And I'll never be fooled by her beauty!
Xiaobao
Is the opera troupe from the capital
giving their final performance
in Huaizhou City today?
I’ll tell you when I’m back.
Wait for me.
No, no.
Xiaobao.
Xiaobao!
People!
Young Chief.
I'm late,
which caused you to get hurt.
Please punish me.
You're here.
[Collected Biographies of the Jin Family]
It's not entirely your fault.
I insisted on going to Prince Sheng's Mansion.
Where is the thing I asked you to bring?
I have to dress like this for a while.
You and Right Shadow can't show up without my order.
Young Chief,
we have already alerted the enemies.
Why are you still dressed like this?
The idiot who saved me that day
turns out to be the young master of the Gold Sect.
If I can use him
Miss Zheng!
I'm here to visit you again!
Miss, you don't know.
I
haven't seen you for only a few hours,
but I feel like years have passed.
She's asleep?
Miss Zheng!
I’m here
to take you to watch the opera!
It’s the final performance of the Xiyue Troupe
from the capital in Huaizhou City.
There will be tons of officials and nobles
there.
Like the Magistrates of Lingyang and Liuchuan,
even Prince Shen is coming.
Our private room
is as good as those of the big shots.
It took me a lot of effort to book that room.
Get the horse ready.
I'm coming.
Okay!
I'll go prepare now.
Zhaocai, Jinbao!
Prepare the horse and set off!
The list is lost,
yet Prince Shen still has the mood to watch opera?
Young Chief,
there may be a trap.
We can't just wait here.
Ask Right Shadow to bring some men to Prince Shen's Mansion
to investigate.
You bring some men to follow me in the dark.
I'd like to see
what kind of trick
Price Shen is trying to pull.
Yes.
I haven't gotten even with you yet.
How dare you tell that to my dad?
Well.
Master pursued.
Well
Then I
I had no choice but to tell him everything.
You have to wait until I find out about her background.
Hya.
[Junyue Inn]
Small pendants on sale! We're closing soon!
Come and take a look.
Young Master.
Come on.
Is that Jin Bao's son?
Yes.
He really looks like an idiot.
He is the only son of Jin Bao.
It is said that he dotes on his son very much.
Be careful.
What a tall girl.
Why is she so pretty?
I can see her beauty even with the veil on.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Rise, Young Master Jin.
Recently, rumors have been circulating in Huaizhou City
about you
finding a beautiful girl from nowhere,
and these rumors have been circulating in my Yizhou.
Your Highness, you must be joking.
I went out on business a few days ago
and ran into Miss Zheng,
who was being held by bandits.
So, I risked my life to save her.
Miss Zheng
is still in great shock,
so she has been resting in Huaizhou City for a few days.
I'll send her back myself in a few days.
This is the story.
Miss Zheng,
where do you live?
I will return to Yizhou in a few days.
If we're heading in the same direction,
we can travel together.
We wouldn't dare to trouble you.
I'll escort her back myself in a few days.
My father has also been teaching me
to finish what I started.
Chief Jin has taught you well.
In that case,
I won't force you.
It's just that Miss Zheng is so fresh and elegant.
I'm sure she is from a well-educated family.
Although I'm a man with not much culture,
I can also be arty-crafty sometimes.
May I invite you, Miss Zheng,
to have a drink with me while enjoying the moonlight tonight?
My mansion in Huaizhou is not far
from here.
You perverted old man.
How dare you ask my wife to come to your place?
He
Thank you, Your Highness.
I'll visit you another day.
It's just
that today I'm a bit tired.
Young Master Jin,
I don’t want to watch the opera.
Let's go back.
Tired?
Why?
Yes.
Miss Zheng,
you don't know.
Although Prince Shen looks decent,
he has a wife
and a group of concubines.
And he often goes to brothels and taverns.
He'd even forget himself
when he saw some beautiful girls.
Don't be fooled by his heroic and calm image.
And he's old.
You're in your youth
and so beautiful.
You won't fall for him, right?
What do you think of me?
I like you.
I really like you.
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
Hya.
Oh no.
Did she really go to see Prince Shen?
Zhaocai, Jinbao!
Go get my wife back!
She rode the horse away.
How can we catch up with her?
Hya.
Hya.
Whoa.
-Young Chief.
-Young Chief.
Huai'en.
You really know when to swallow your pride.
I almost didn't recognize you.
Uncle, you're old but vigorous.
May I know why you chased me
like hell in the middle of the night?
I lost something accidentally a few days ago.
I think you must have been naughty and stolen it.
Give it back to me.
You must be joking.
I don't have your stuff,
only
my father’s stuff.
-As for what my father wants to do with it,
-How dare you.
I think you know it clearly.
The world was never meant to be yours.
You know it.
How dare you!
Your father left the country behind
for his own desires.
How can such a person
become the emperor?
This is
not up to you.
Huai'en,
your father has been blinded by hatred for so many years.
All these years, he has been thinking about revenge.
If he were to ascend to the throne,
how could the people live in peace?
You're almost an adult.
You should be able to distinguish right from wrong.
What do the people in this country
have to do with me?
And I don't care
whether it's right or wrong.
You're so obstinate.
Kill him!
Protect Young Chief!
Why is nobody here?
Are you sure she came this way?
Yes, Young Master.
The Red Cloud Horse has your special fragrance cream.
The smell of it is nearby.
Wait.
But what are they doing here, in the middle of nowhere?
Young Master, look!
Miss Zheng!
Miss Zheng, where are you?
My dear!
Huai'en!
My dear!
Zhaocai, Jinbao!
Let's split up
to find my wife!
-No!
-No!
Young Master,
Miss Zheng's identity is unknown.
She said she came to Huaizhou for business,
but she never went out.
She was hunted down every few days.
Now, she has made Prince Shen her enemy.
Young Master,
let's not get involved in this mess.
What the hell do you know?
I don't care who she is.
Since she's my wife,
I have to protect her.
As the young master of the Gold Sect,
if I can't even protect my own wife,
what kind of man am I?
But, Young Master,
it's too dangerous for you to go alone.
It's not about the danger now!
With my father's friendship with the Su family,
Prince Shen doesn't dare do anything to me.
Hurry.
If anything happens to my wife while you are dragging on,
I'll kill you two!
I
Young Master.
Remember.
Avoid any danger,
or pretend to be dead if you can't.
If it doesn't work
Alas!
Young Master!
Young Master.
Miss Zheng.
Miss Zheng!
Miss Zheng!
Miss Zheng!
Miss Zheng!
Miss Zheng!
Don't come over.
Don't come over!
Don't come over!
Go save our Young Chief!
You
You mean
You mean Huai'en?
This is the best Golden Wound Powder from the Western Region.
Whether you can live or not depends on yourself.
Good luck to you.
Miss Zheng!
Miss Zheng!
Miss Zheng!
I hope that old man isn't lying.
Bastard!
Die!
Stop!
Miss Zheng!
Are you okay?
It's all my fault for being late.
Are you okay?
Don't worry. I'm here.
Who are you?
I'm the young master of the Gold Sect in Jiangnan.
This lady
is my future wife!
Don't you dare lay a finger on her!
Your future wife?
Lady?
Is your master
too stingy to buy you some decent clothes?
I have a bag of gold.
As long as you leave,
these
are all yours.
Throw the bag over.
I give you gold and you have to let her go.
You take the money,
and you have to let my wife go.
Brother!
-Gold!
-Gold.
You have to keep your word.
Leave now since you got the gold.
Don't play tricks.
We'll not only let you go
but also send you back.
Well
I won't trouble you for that.
We're poisoned!
You're greedy!
Did you think you could get my gold that easily?
You really think
I'm a sick cat?
Let's see if you dare to hit my wife.
Watch out!
Miss Zheng.
Miss Zheng!
Are you okay?
We finally got him.
Unfortunately, all the fatal ones are used up.
But this one is not bad.
Kid,
tonight,
you can consummate your marriage with your wife before the wedding.
Where is the antidote?
Give me the antidote!
Antidote?
Why does an aphrodisiac need an antidote?
Aphrodisiac?
Well
